A tastier tuna melt

The tuna melt, the iconic luncheon pick in diners all across the land. I love a good tuna melt, and here’s a way to make it a little more grownup and tasty. I like to either wrap them in foil and melt them in the oven or on the grill, or even better, skip the foil and do them on an indoor grill or panini press.

Tasty Tuna Melt

Thick sliced bread
Tuna
Scallions, chopped
Capers
Parsley, chopped
Lemon juice
Gruyere or Swiss cheese

Mix the tuna with the scallions through lemon juice. Pile it high on slices of bread and top with cheese. Add another slice of bread and wrap in foil to heat or grill.
